I have been a Conure lover for many years but, a friend of mine told me about an Eclectus that he met at a flea market one year and how he fell in love with her. I have always wanted a larger bird but, did not want the noise and bad habits that came with a lot of the larger birds. So, I did some research on Eclectus' and decided to take a chance on the Eclectus so, I contacted a bird breeder friend of mine who happened to have two little girls available. Scarlett and her sister were only 3 months old when we met. I had a difficult time choosing one but, little Scarlett cuddled under my chin when I held her and the rest is history. I fell in love instantly. I brought Scarlett home and weaned her from the age of 3 months. We are now inseparable =).

My mommy's head and I like to crawl into a small cage without a bottom that mom has sitting on top of shelf near a window. I like to sit quietly in there and look out the window.

Having to go back in the cage

I love when mommy tickles me behind the ear. I tuck my head under so that she can get to the tickle spot easily. I love to watch mommy as she washes dishes in the sink...she even lets me play with the water and splashes me with her fingers to tease me. I spread my wings and fluff my feathers because it feels like I'm playing in a bird bath. I am out of my cage all day so, I pretty much own the place but, my mom says that I have to sleep in my cage at night to avoid injuries =( That's ok...because I look forward to every morning when mommy comes to me to wish me a good morning and let me out of my cage. She loves me very much and I love my mommy too.

I love to perch on mommy's head. Mommy gets nervous when I do that..

If you show me love, I will will love you back..

Hello Scarlet,Thanks so much for coming to visit me. I have left you a vote as I always do. I looked at your lovely photos. You are so bright,cheerful & intelligent looking! Rhett Butler has grown more feathers and is a nice color. Are you getting on well together? All is well here, except Snow the white cat died the other day, very suddenly, unexpected & we don't know why. He wasn't very old - about 5 years. Mum was very sad. Anyway, she's got me and the other birdies, the other cat Snoddy, the dog Velvet and a few incidental pets outside which I never get to see. Mum cleaned out my house over the weekend and Rosie and I got let out. Rosie loves to fly around. I love to jump onto Mum's head because her hair is like a bird nest lol hahaha! I was really good this time and didn't bite, so I might get let out again. Well, I'd better go, Mum says it's late and she wants to go to sleep because she's got lots to do tomorrow. Take care my friend, have fun and I'll pop in again soon. Love Ollie xxx

Hi ScarlettI just looked at your baby brother. Awe he is so cute and sweet looking! You will get used to him being around and will have heaps of fun and company with him. What a wonderful Mum you have to get you a baby birdie to play with. You can help teach him lots of stuff, but be good, don't teach him to be naughty and bitey. Ofcourse it goes with out saying that Ive given you both votes. Thanks for coming to visit me. My Mum's been busy, but nothing major happening in our lives at the moment. Well, I'm flying off, have to say a quick hello to a couple of other friends whilst I'm here. See you again soon. Love Ollie xxx

Hi Scarlett!Your baby brother is adorable! I was able to get from his profile to yours with no problems! :) I will definitely be stopping by to see him grow up! My mom has been really busy too! We just moved to Boston a few months ago and it's been a big transition for both of us. But I'm adjusting and am excited for springtime :) I left you and Rhett Butler some votes! Fly by again sometime!

Hello again & yet again, Scarlet,I'm putting up 3 photos of you Scarlet onto my campage. The cam is not on at the moment, but everyone can view the page and new photos as per normal. Check it out. http://mycampage.com/kazriktsbirdbraincam. You really are such a beautiful bird and your blue and red colors are so bright. I'm surprised that your tail feathers are so short. (No offense meant! LOL). Love Ollie xxx

Hello Scarlet,Ah so that is where you got your name "Gone with the Wind" and the fact that you are a scarlet color. Great name, great movie (my Mum loves that movie too), wonderful birdie. Your new sibling who is called Rhet Butler - thats funny, but cute. Don't get jealous, remember what your Mummy said - she can love you both. You will probably get on quite well when you get used to each other. Great company for you too. My Mum's cam is off at the moment, the campage of course is still there, but her internet is down, she's actually typing this letter to you (I'm dictating to her) on her little notebook. Silly Mummy has a few bill issues at the moment cos she doesn't work. Anyway apart from all that I'm having a great time. Well must go now, I have some singing to do and my vocabulary lessons to do in my biscuit tin (I mean where else would one go!). Take care. Lots of Love, Ollie xxx

Hi Scarlet,Have you been busy lately? I just flew in from Australia again to say hello to you and a couple of other friends. I hope you are well and happy. I hope you will be my friend and visit me soon. You are welcome anytime. Bye for now, love Ollie xxx

Hi Scarlet,I'm going to copy your pic and add it to my photo gallery @ http://www.mycampage.com/kazriktsbirdbraincam. I will write that we met here on BC and that you are a friend of mine. If you are not happy about this, please don't hesitate to let me know and I shall immediately remove. Lots of love, Ollie (in Australia) :) xxx

Hello Scarlett,How are you? I hope you are well and happy and keeping your Mom smiling. Good to see ythat you have made some nice friends here. Feather and Pico & Skittles are my BC friends too. I've met some beautiful birdies and their loving Moms, all good people who care deeply about us feathered friends. It's great to see and experience. Can I copy of photo of you to add to my cam page as my friend and guest from BC? Please let me know asap. Thanks. I have to go, i'm sorry to say. I'm so tired from all the hot weather we are having, that I'm about to fall off my perch. Need a little bird nap. Chat to you soon, Love from Ollie (Australia) xxxx

Hi Scarlett ~Wow - you're a close neighbor of my mom's sister & her family. She lives in a subdivision on Spring-Cypress just west of 249. The Parrot Festival is the last weekend of this month. Tell your mom to google "Parrot Festival" and it has all the information. Mom has never been to the conference part, but goes every year to the "Market" which has a lot of great vendors (bird toys, food, cages, perches, etc.) And it only cost $5 to get in to the Market. Oh, well, gotta fly ~ Stay warm....suppose to be really cold tonight & tomorrow night! Leaving you a chilly vote ~

Hi Scarlett ~Yep - I live around the FM 1960 and Jones Road area. I have an aunt (my mom's sister) that lives in Tomball. Is your mom going to the Parrot Festival? Mom goes every year & has been since before my time. Well, stay warm ~

Good morning Scarlett ~Mom & I noticed that you're very close to where we live...you're just about 20 minutes or so north of where we live ~ Anyway, welcome to Bird Channel! Leaving you a BIG WELCOME vote ~

Hi ScarlettChi chi and I looked at all your pictures and we sure did enjoy them alot. What kind of food does your mom have you on? Today mom gave me some popcorn cake and I don’t eat much of it but sure make a big mess with it. I do the same thing when mom gives me popcorn too. I just crunch it all up and leave it in the bowl! “Love is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune with out the words, and never stops at all.” V4U and stop in and visit with me anytime. I have a perch right here with your name on it! Your kissin’ cousin, Gus

Hi ScarlettYour colors are very pretty. What kind of food does your mom have you on? Last night mom left the faucet in the sink trickle and I got to play in it. I love to do that but mom said it was late so I couldn’t get real wet but I don’t like getting real wet anyway. I just like to play in it and hear it running. “Love is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune with out the words, and never stops at all.” V4U and stop in and visit with me anytime, I have a perch right here with your name on it! Your kissin’ cousin, Chi chi

Hi ScarlettThanks for visiting me. I just woke up from a little birdie nap and Mum told me you had come to visit me. I haven't been up to much today, just catching up on a bit of sleep. Mum and boy out most of day so it was nice and quiet. A bit hot though, 32 degrees outside. Good thing its not that hot in my house or I might just melt off my perch! I'll fly by ya real soon, squarking off now, take care and have fun, cya. Love Ollie xxx

Thanks for visiting!Hi Scarlett, thank you for visiting me! I love making new friends! :) My mom has always loved and admired eclectuses, even though she's never been a mom to one. You seem to have such a noble, peaceful energy about you. I'd love to see more photos of you, beautiful girl! Stay in touch!

Hi ScarlettThis morning I kept hitting my jungle talk toy but it wouldn’t work. I kept looking at mom and making distressing sounds about it and finally she fixed it for me. She said I wore the batteries out and that was all it needed. I am just glad it works again cause that is my favorite toy ya know! “Love is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune with out the words, and never stops at all.” V4U and stop in and visit with me anytime. I have a perch right here with your name on it! Your kissin’ cousin, Gus

Hi ScarlettI beat some of my toys up today and fought with the paper mom gave me too. Mom said I was “in the mood” what ever she means by that. I even hollered at dad when he sat down after supper to tell him it was time to let me out but he didn’t pay any attention till later and left me out then. I guess I was a bit “in the mood”. “Love is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune with out the words, and never stops at all.” V4U and stop in and visit with me anytime, I have a perch right here with your name on it!
